I’m a great packer.

When it comes to taking trips or going on vacations, I’m typically pretty on top of things and can pack a bag like a champ.

However, I’m not the best un-packer. With the trip in the past and trying to get back into normal life, my bags tend to sit there in my closet until…well, until I need something in there. This continues until I have emptied the contents entirely from necessity.

It’s not the best system in the world, but I don’t break habits easily. (I guess that means I’m not a quitter? Or, just stubborn…)

These cupcakes were made back in June, but I had been waiting to post them until the fall season had begun. Technically, fall isn’t for a couple more weeks, but, whatevs. If pumpkin spice lattes are available at pretty much every coffee shop by early September, then fall is in season.

These were a Father’s Day gift, because, for my dad, there is nothing greater than the apple. Nothing. So, it’s safe to say, these were a big hit.
